What is recorded here

A large area was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. The geophysical survey conducted in October 2005 by Target Archaeological Geophysics outside the excavated area produced evidence of a ring-ditch (ext. diam. c. 10m) located c. 90m WNW of the ring-ditch (WX007-076010-). This ring-ditch may have an opening at S, on the side towards the enclosure (WX007-076018-), which is c. 10m to the S.
